Very interesting video. So he specifically showed the windows up in the car when he found it, but when they pulled it out of the water, they were broken out, so I assume protocol there is to try to retrieve the bodies or what's left of them, before trying to pull the vehicle out of the water?

I thought about that too. Recover the remains before because once you disturb the scene, who knows what happens to all the bones, or what's left of them.

Yeah, they obviously had divers get the bodies (or whatever was left) out before removing the vehicle.
I'm not really upset about not seeing the 20 year decomposed bodies.

They disappeared. No one knew how. They could have gone anywhere. It was the video’s author who decided to pursue their disappearance into a body of water and he checked three areas that were likely candidates.

I mean you see the car was originally coming out of the water upsidedown. Can you imagine what would have happened to those remains the second that car flipped over or started moving?

You’re not even remotely interested in what that looks like?
Guess I’m strange, that kind of stuff is interesting to me

It’s never how you think it is. They might’ve found a tooth or fibula.

Here's a current story...

Car belonging to Auburn student missing since 1976 found submerged in creek with bones inside
quote:
The car belonging to an Auburn University student who disappeared more than four decades ago has now been found with bones inside the vehicle.
Kyle Clinkscales was 22-years-old in 1976 when he left LaGrange, Georgia to go back to Auburn, where he was a junior.
Clinkscales reportedly left the Moose Club in his hometown of LaGrange, where he was bartender, about 11 p.m. to drive back to Auburn.
He never arrived on campus and his white, two-door 1974 Ford Pinto Runabout was never seen again either.
quote:
On Tuesday, about 11:30 a.m., deputies with the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office were notified of a what appeared to be a car submerged in a creek off of County Road 83, approximately one mile from County Road 388, in LaFayette, according to the Troup County Sheriff’s Office.
Once they arrived on scene, they recovered the car from the water, and it appeared to be an older model Ford passenger car with a 1976 Georgia tag with a Troup County decal.
Chambers County officials contacted the Troup County Sheriff’s Office for assistance in trying to run the tag information.
The Troup County tag office was contacted, and investigators began to check for any records they may have had.
The learned the tag and VIN matched that of a 1974 Ford Pinto Runabout which was the same car that Clinkscales was last seen driving on the night of January 27th.
Inside the car, investigators found what they think are human bones along with identification and credit cards belonging to Clinkscales, Troup County, Georgia, Sheriff James Woodruff said at a news conference. Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Stewart Smith said other personal items identified as belonging to Clinkscales also were found inside the vehicle.

fancy fish finder
They have a side scan sonar. The few I have watched they see a suspected car then scan perpendicular to that and it draws out a car shaped blob on the screen. Could probably do it with a higher end fish finder aimed sideways a few feet off the bottom.

You should watch Adventures With Purpose. They do this all of the time all over the country and have solved 16 missing person cold cases on top of recovering a ton of other lost and missing stuff.
I've seen just about all of these guys finds..this is their youtube site:LINK
This one got to me when they found this gentleman's wife missing for three years in the water. When they handed him her license plate, he just kept hugging it and then hugged both divers...very touching.LINK

Where there are rivers running naturally, sediment loads can shift in and cover cars.
I wonder if the Sparta discovery was 'aided' by the torrential rain that washed out roads and, maybe, move the bed load sediments off of the car?

Thanks for sharing! Amazing to watch.

Those are valid questions but I would also wonder whether or not there was a guard rail at the time? Seems to me that a missing/broken guard rail around the curve should be noticeable and you should tip them off to look down below in the river. Based on the video there is a guard rail now.

I heard it too, but it was one of the TVA lakes in Tennessee instead of the Mississippi.
